EDITOR, The Tribune.

The DNA and its “self-appointed” leader say they represent change. They proclaim to be the party that is concerned about the youth of the nation and national development. However, from my view and the more I observe their organisation, the more I realise that they are no different from the other political parties.

I truly had high hopes that Branville McCartney would have been different from other politicians and bring about change, but the more I observe his actions, the more I realise that he is no different than any other politician.

The main reason I conclude this is because right after a loss at the polls, Mr. McCartney closed his headquarters and abandoned the people of Bamboo Town.

In one of his most recent advertisements for a constituency meeting, it said he’s coming home. If this is the case, it obviously meant he left. In fact, his headquarters is now a takeaway restaurant on East Street.

If Mr McCartney can so quickly close up shop with his headquarters, and desert the people of Bamboo Town after a loss at the polls, what makes him so different from all the others that have come before him?

I daresay Mr McCartney is no different than the others and in fact only offers more of the same. He should have led by example and kept his office open after a loss. Then I would have been convinced that he offered real change.

I won’t be buying into the hype of the DNA or Mr McCartney any longer. He obviously says one thing and does another and I guess that is the only change he’s offering.
